BX24 Throttle slips....fix?

[Jabroni]

The throttle is slipping on my new BX24. Is there an adjustment somewhere that I can tighten? It drops back, not the the other way around.

It needs to be adjusted, call your dealer if it is new.

On the previous models of the BX there was a couple nuts on the throttle lever pivot that you tightnened to keep that from happening. I haven't had the issue yet with my BX2350 and haven't looked at it, but I'd bet the same sort of arrangement is there. It's probably a real easy fix...

I'd call the dealer, but I think this is something that I should be able to perform myself and save the dealer call for something more extensive.

Slipping is most likely due to a loose throttle link. Take off the Battery cover, You will see two nuts. Tighten the nuts. Problem solved.

I had the same problem on mine ... As mentioned previously, about two minutes with a couple of adjustable wrenches will get you squared away. At first I was leery about doing it before I looked at it, but it is really simple and if you are like me, you will probably do it a couple of times (the first time I made it too tight, then too loose etc)

So Jabroni, did you fix the throttle?? Mine (BX24) started doing it today...what a pain!! I got in after dark so I couldn't look at it.

When my BX23 was new, my throttle was just the opposite, too tight. Two wrenches and about five minutes and it was perfect. It hasn't needed re-adjustment since.
